Comics: Don't Get Me Started: 'My' Free Comic Day

In celebration of Saturday being Free Comic Day, comics expert and author Chris Lambert writes that his dad started the tradition of free comic day more than 30 years ago: "Because back then, ALL my comics were free (thanks to Dad). Later, as a teenager, my Dad gave me a pile of his old comics that he had saved from when he was young. Again I said, "Thanks Dad." Because again they were FREE comics to me."

Lambert will be appearing May 4th, Saturday (free comic day) from 11:00 am-to 2:30PM at Comic Heaven (on Robinhood Dr. in Willoughby) signing autographs on his new sci-fi paperbacks, "The Galaxy Clan" and "The GlobeSpanners." Then at 3:00Pm to 7:00PM he'll be at the Great Lakes Mall signing his same two new books at Comics and Friends with friend and artist David Russell.
